Why Front Is Your Ultimate Lunchtime Destination in Xlendi Bay
From mouthwatering homemade pizzas to delectable sharing tapas plates or even a hearty feast! Pair perfectly with a refreshing cocktail – and you have the perfect lunch at Front.
When talking lunch in Gozo, Front has to be in the running. Whether it’s a pizza you’re after, a burger to die for, or some light tapas to share, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Let’s talk big meals first. Front always has an amazing list of Chef’s Specials, which are forever changing. We had the Beef Kotfa, served with mixed pepper rice, grilled tomatoes, a spicy wrap, pickled red cabbage, onions and chilli peppers. Let us tell you that we ate every last mouthful! This dish is full of flavour and bursting with spicy tang. If you’re hungry, it will not disappoint, and you get bang for your buck. You can just see the amount of love that goes into this dish, and we promise your mouth will love it too!
Who Doesn’t Love A Pizza?
If you’re not feeling a big meal for lunch, but perhaps fancy a light snack, Front offers delicious mini pizzas. They come in two different sizes and are freshly made to order. We opted for the Parma Rocket, and we were not disappointed! There are so many pizzas to choose from, and whether you’re starving, or just want a little snack, one of these is the perfect way to satisfy your hunger. And just look how beautiful they are too…
Searching For Healthy Yet Delicious?
On a health kick? Want something green but delicious? You can bet that lunch at Front have you covered with their salads. We tried out their Grilled Halloumi Salad, filled with walnuts, caramelised onions, leaves, tomatoes, and of course, the star of the show, the grilled halloumi. This salad is filling, tasty and super healthy, we’ll be ordering it again for a yummy lunch when we’re down in Xlendi.
Brilliant ‘Build Your Own’ Burgers!
It’s always been one of our recommendations, but we can’t mention lunch at Front, without talking about their ‘Build Your Own’ Burgers. You start by picking your protein, whether you’re avoiding meat and want a Beyond Meat Patty, are fancying a classic beef burger, or are in the mood for some crispy coated chicken, with lashings of cheesy goodness, they’ve got something to suit anyone. They have a plethora of add-ons to stack your burger high and mighty. Choose pretty much every aspect of your burger, and make it just the way YOU like it.
We have to mention, that if you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, there are options to suit everyone. Front has vegan cheese, vegan and gluten-free buns, and a whole host of combinations that will mean making a burger that fits your dietary needs super easy!
The perfect accompaniment to your burger or sharer for the table is their Loaded Fries. The bacon jam is to die for, and we’re going to be begging Front for the recipe. They also come in a vegan version, or with sweet potato fries instead, meaning there’s an option for everyone. Once you start eating them, we guarantee you won’t be able to stop. Feast your eyes on the sort of combos you could be making!
Did you know that Front offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks into late into the evening? They also run live music three times a week, and have an awesome cocktail list alongside their booming food menu which is full of variety.
Something Sweet?
You can’t finish off a good lunch without something sweet, and at Front they spoil us with a gorgeous warm Banana Bread served with ice cream. Served warm it truly melts in your mouth. We were stuffed and could barely eat any more, but we made the space for this delicious dessert!
Or Maybe A Cocktail Moment…
Front’s cocktail menu is pretty breathtaking, with a humungous list to choose from, and flavours to suit everyone a lunchtime cocktail will be sure to brighten up the day! Our personal favourites were the Passionfruit Mojito and the Rhubarb and Ginger Gin Sour, but you are completely spoilt for choice and NEED to check out this crazy cocktail list next time you’re there.
